Outbacks are THE boat. Not too heavy, perfect width/length and stability. I have a 2017, I think it was the first year with the reverse. They have made great improvements over the years. Got me thinking about selling mine and upgrading. Another plus is they hold value. Congrats on yours.

[@KayakFishingAddict]

[@TomKirkman1]

The Outback is a great compromise between a Compass and a Pro-Angler. The variety of fishing scenarios it allows make it, perhaps, the best all-around fishing kayak that Hobie offers. Only better fishing kayak out there is the Hobie Adventure/Tandem Island, which simply gives you a tremendous speed and range advantage. But they are a lot more money.

[@KayakFishingAddict]

The PA is nice but I’d need a forklift to move it outside of the water. :)

[@Cyfi71]

Great upgrade!! For a serious fisherman, the outback is the way to go. And for a guy that lives in skinny water all day long, you are going to love those kick up fins. I can only imagine how many times you had to bend those rods back into shape. My 2020 is doing great. I added the Scotty cup holder and a hatch in the front. Looking at the Boonedox rudder and the cockpit padding kit. Very happy for you my friend!😎

[@KayakFishingAddict]

Thanks! I’m very happy with the low water performance thus far. Those sound like some solid mods you’re making.

[@MBDronePhoto]

I just bought the exact same color Outback. The wants and needed mods just made the Outback a no brainer. Thanks for the review and giving me some ideas. I added the H-bar for some age related stability issues.

Congrats Rob. I know you’ll enjoy it!

[@Toasty_1992]

I think the (Bridge Mount) you showed us would also be awesome to use with a fish finder.

[@KayakFishingAddict]

It would certainly make it very stable!

[@johnthomson5730]

Hey, Ron. Nice kayak. I considered a Hobie, but I went with the Wilderness Systems Recon 120HD because it seemed to have better stability with a higher seat (important for a geriatric like me). I had a chance to fish with a friend who has the Hobie Outback and observed that it was a bit faster with better maneuvering in tight spaces and could go into shallower water with the fins than I could with my propeller down. I am looking forward to watching your next video catching fish in the new boat!

[@KayakFishingAddict]

Thanks John. The Wilderness Systems boats are good as well. The best boat is the one you use! I agree that the Hobie gets into tighter water with the fins. That's the type of marsh systems I fish all the time so the Hobie was a better fit for me. Tight lines!

[@Fishin4ever4life]

I had a 2020 Hobie compass and as a river fisherman I loved the kick up fin’s but I hated the seat and the kayak wasn’t stable to me at all. Went with SS127 with a iX3 and I LOVE the stability, the high seat, and I no longer have any lower back pain.

[@KayakFishingAddict]

Bonafide makes a nice boat. So you went with the iX3 motor. The motored kayak market seems to be growing now that manufacturers are making shorter shafted trolling motors. Did you mount it in the front or in the back?

[@jacksonhooton2354]

I also got a new Hobie because they don’t sell kick up fin mirages separately. Very surprised they didn’t have any options for upgrading.

[@KayakFishingAddict]

Actually it's a smart business move since it sells more kayaks....that said, they likely missed out on a lot of people who'd upgrade without getting a new hull. Congrats on the new boat!

[@thejohnboatfaithfishingand8078]

Nice kayak! PA-12 or PA-14? I had an older Outback that I sold when I started my boat build. I do plan to build my own kayak once I finish the skiff. The dimensions will be close to those of a Hobie Outback, but will build using the stitch and glue method. The goal is to end up with a kayak that's about half the weight of a plastic boat. Like one of the other comments mentioned, plastic boats are heavy for us older guys to lug around! But I guarantee you're going to enjoy that Hobie!

[@KayakFishingAddict]

Thanks. It's an Outback. I hope your build goes well.

Nice fishing rod! What is the largest fish it can handle? As for the boat, good to see you're carrying a paddle, too: nothing can save you in times of trouble - strong wind, high waves - like a good paddle and some good paddling. The pedalling can come in handy under so many circumstances! For lakes and deep, calm rivers, this kayak is a great choice - well, to the select few who can afford it.

[@KayakFishingAddict]

I'm not sure how large a fish it can handle but certainly it's strong enough to handle the fish I catch in the marsh. Yes, a good paddle and a PFD are requirements!

It looks like a nice kayak, the only thing I don’t like about it, it’s having to pull a string to go to reverse as opposed to a propeller drive that gives you that instant reverse. Nice video btw!

Glad you enjoyed the video. The Lynx is nice but you have to assemble it every time you take it out. Also, any kind of waves or chop and it’s a very wet ride.

If you’re talking about the paddle holder at @06:18 then they’re called a Hobie Pro Angler Paddle Clip Assembly. They’re hard to find but essentially, even though they’re for a Pro Angler, the threading on the Outback, and the Compass for that matter, is the same. You pull out the bungee holders and insert these into those same holes. Here they are at a retailer - westcoastsailing.net/hobie-pro-angler-paddle-clip-assembly/

Hey, did you setup your Garmin in the new boat, the same way you did in your old Compass? I thought that was a very cool and clean install you did. I need to run cable, install transducer, install battery, etc. in 2016 and 2022 Outbacks and looking for cleanest way to do it. Thx

[@KayakFishingAddict]

Yes, I did. The only change I made was I used 2 Milford hangers with the heads cut off that I molded into place instead of the galvanized components I used on the Compass. See www.lowes.com/pd/RELIABILT-3-4-in-to-3-4-in-dia-Copper-Plated-Steel-Milford-Hanger/5014668055 for an example.

[@KendallLewis-z5o]

@@KayakFishingAddict very cool, that is a good option. I will keep that in mind for sure on the 2022 Outback. I finished my 2016 this past weekend and paired the Striker 4cv with the Nocqua Pro 10.

Hey, Ron. Great videos - and thanks for all the time you take to keep us informed. Speaking of which, at some point would you mind doing a video about the Garmin GPS/Fishfinder that you're using, how you use it, does it get in your way when fishing, et cetera? I have the same kayak you do and I'm considering the Echomap Plus 44cv, but knowing the kayak is rigged for Lowrance is making me second guess myself. Lowrance only offers the larger GPS/Fishfinders and I'm worried about my right knee/leg hitting it (I'm 6'3") or my rod smacking into it on a low cast. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again - Bill

[@KayakFishingAddict]

I'm glad you enjoy the channel! I typically only use my fish finder for GPS. That way I can wind myself deep in the marsh and get back out by following the GPS path that got me in there. I do store a few waypoints but I never use them. And only on a rare occasion do I use it to find fish....the marsh systems I fish are typically 2'-4' deep and that's not deep enough for a fish finder to find fish. I'm 6'2" and it doesn't get in my way at all. I have a video up on how to mount it which has helped many to adapt the Garmin to a Lowrance ready kayak - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3yshmWie6t1oMk - which might give you a few ideas.

[@howardjones1955]

@@KayakFishingAddict That's exactly what I would be using it for as well. I found myself in a situation where I was fishing with my brother over near Sebastian River. We put it way before sunrise, and then took the Hobies way of the path. We were fishing separately and found myself turned around. Called him and told him to send me a pin, which was followed by "how do I do that?" I have a GPS/Fishfinder on my boat that leaves "bread crumbs" of where I've been, so knew I needed one on the yak.

[@KayakFishingAddict]

Hi Jeremy. Thanks. I'll look for you. Yes, I used a similar mounting strategy. I got some copper plated strips this time. When I took the transducer out of my Compass those brackets had dissolved completely. It was 2.5 years in a lot of salt water, but there was no remnant of them. I'm hoping the copper plated version does better. But either way, it was well worth the $1.18 I paid. And yes, the fish finder works great. There's a lot more room in the Outback for the transducer.

Personally, if you’re car topping then I would avoid the outback. Even the compass was a little challenging but it was very doable when I car topped it before I had my pick up. But I wouldn’t even try car topping an outback. That said, I’ve seen other KZbinrs do it so if you are gonna tackle it I would make sure that you watch some of their videos they have some tools and techniques that will help.

@@saltwaterpanchos3749 Davinci Resolve Studio. Start with the free version until you fall in love with it and then as you try to speed up editing you may want to try their "speed editor". If so, look for the deal where if you purchase a studio license you get the speed editor for free.
